(Thank you all for your support!) Black car bye-bye! ）

"Mr. Sword, of New York, after weighing the pros and cons, has agreed to support Mr. Lincoln."

"What?"

David Davis's first sentence after talking about business is surprising enough, he is Lincoln, he has the support of New York State, and Ward has turned to Lincoln, so is this news true?

David Davis then laughed and said, "Of course, Mr. Chase is not an outsider, and I can tell you the truth about this, that is, Mr. Lincoln has promised Mr. Ward that once Mr. Lincoln wins the election and finally becomes president, then Mr. Shawl will become the Secretary of State of the United States." ”

So that's what happened!

Chase's heart was turning a thousand times at this time, and he naturally understood what David Davis wanted to say, that is, he hoped that Chase, like Sward, would make a deal with Lincoln's campaign, and as for what kind of position he would get, the position of Secretary of State was very powerful anyway.

And Chase is also sure that Davis did not deceive him, because Ward himself has his own problems, and the views he holds are simply scolded at today's conference, so ......

What about yourself?

Seeing that Chase didn't speak, Davis continued, "Now that we have the support of New York State, plus Mr. Lincoln will definitely be able to win Illinois, plus the western states, then it is logical for Mr. Lincoln to become president, so our Republican primary, just support Mr. Lincoln." Also, Mr. Chase, you will be the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States in the future. ”

"Minister of Finance?!" Chase's eyes are about to pop out!

Seeing this scene, Li Mengyang sighed in his heart, this Chase is also a petty child, and he bought you for the position of Minister of Finance? Was it the president or the treasury raised?

In fact, at this time, Li Mengyang still didn't know much about the political situation in the United States at this time, that is, the president actually did not have much power, but some ministers under him, all of whom had real power.

In other words, Ward's choice is actually not stupid, using a somewhat virtual position for a position with real power is definitely a worthwhile deal.

Minister of Finance, how important is this position? Although it is impossible to see that the current US economy is rotten, the benefits that the Treasury Secretary can get are definitely exciting!

In fact, there is another very tempting thing about Chase, that is, as a governor and a calculating guy, he is very aware of an economic problem in the United States at this time, that is, there is no national bank!

In the history of the United States, there were originally the first bank and the second bank, but these banks were all private banks, and they were stipulated at the beginning of their establishment, only for a period of 20 years, so in 20 years, the banks would be abolished, which was originally designed to control financial capital, but now the United States is because there is no national bank, so the financial sector is very, very chaotic.

How chaotic is it?

More than 1,000 banks closed down last year alone!

Of course, this has something to do with the economic crisis, but the market is too chaotic, all private banks, without any regulation, but it also means great opportunities.

Mr. Chase fell into deep thought, he was really tempted by this position, his foundation for electing president was not good, and he might have been killed in the party primary, but now, as long as he supports Lincoln, then there is a practical interest, which ......

"Mr. Chase, you can think about it, I have to go to Mr. Cameron, I am sure he must be very eager to be the Secretary of War in Lincoln's government." Davis finished with a smile, then bowed and left.

Li Mengyang saw this history happening in front of him, and he dared to conclude that the original history was like this, that is, ......

It turns out that the so-called democratic elections are a fucking deal!

Li Mengyang is very sure that after trading with Schward and Chase, Davis will definitely find the other two candidates, and they will definitely use the same method, and even, if Li Mengyang is Davis, he can say it.

Schward agreed, and so did Chase.

Chase doesn't agree now, but he will definitely agree in the future, even if he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter, if the other candidates all support Lincoln, then what does it matter if Chase doesn't agree?

When the time comes, if you don't agree, you have to agree, this ......

It seems that the Northeast is a big fool!

Of course, Li Mengyang didn't fully know the details of this, but he guessed about the same, this Republican internal primary, which decided the fate of the United States, gave him the feeling that it was a deal.

Looking at Mr. Chase, this old salmon was already sweating profusely at this time, and it was obvious that he was facing an important decision, whether to win the Treasury Secretary safely, or take the risk of electing the president?

"Hey!" Fiona had actually given Li Mengyang several looks, but she was helpless, this guy didn't notice, so she had to pat him.

"What's the matter?" Li Mengyang had been looking at Mr. Chase just now, and he was also thinking about the presidential election.

"Oh, you help my father!" Fiona had no choice but to say it bluntly, in fact, she wanted to hear her 'lover's thoughts at this time. Because it seems that Clint Lee also has a lot of opinions on politics, and they are all in the newspapers.

"I'm sure Mr. Chase will make the right choice." Li Mengyang said this with a smile, because he actually knew how Chase would choose early on, because this old salmon is not a fool.

"I've decided!" Mr. Chase shouted, startling his daughter and his 'future son-in-law', "I want to support Mr. Lincoln!" ”

Sure enough, Li Mengyang guessed all the ......

The 1860 Republican convention in Chicago ended in a peaceful, united, and peaceful atmosphere, and they elected their presidential candidate, Mr. Lincoln!

Then came the presidential election in 1860, which decided the final fate of the United States.

Relative to the Republican Party, there has been a split on the part of the Democratic Party, and they have put forward several candidates.

'Little Giant' Douglas thinks that Buchanan guy has done this, he doesn't choose, and it should be his turn in that round, right?

Douglas's political prestige is still very high, but after the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Kansas is still bleeding, so his reputation is very bad.

And the Democratic Party came up with other candidates, so the little giant was eager to be president, and this guy went around running for himself.

The presidential campaign is not quite the same as the state-level campaign, because after all, it is the president, and you always come out to canvass for yourself when you have nothing to do, which is very annoying, anyway, Americans are very annoyed by this, plus the previous Kansas, Douglas was often attacked by rotten eggs during his campaign speeches.

As for Election Day, it was even more stunning, Lincoln's name didn't appear on the Southern state ballot at all, and of course, even if he did, he wouldn't win.

And in this election, a total of more than 4.7 million Americans voted, it was unprecedented, Li Mengyang's "New York Evening News" did the whole report, you know, the population of the United States at this time is only more than 30 million, and there are 4 million slaves, and then remove the women who have no right to vote, as well as minors who are not old enough to move, plus the old ones can't move, so this turnout rate is unparalleled!

In the end, Lincoln won by a narrow margin, and on the day the results came out, Lincoln's wife, Mary, could not wait any longer, so she went back to sleep, only to wake up to her old proclamation, "You are now the First Lady of the United States of America!"

Back then, Douglas actually courted Mary, and one of his boasts was, 'One day, you'll be Madame President!'" ’

Mary simply rejected Douglas because she hated such arrogant people, but now she has fulfilled her promise, 'Be Mrs. President, but not Mrs. Douglas!' ’

These pieces of news were all dug up by Li Mengyang, and a large part of them were provided by the big man Bill, and then these gossips appeared on the "New York Evening News", and the result was ...... The circulation is really skyrocketing!

In the face of such an economic winter as 1860, the circulation of the New York Evening News was able to maintain double-digit growth, partly because of Li Mengyang's propaganda on communism, and on the other hand, because of the actual follow-up coverage of the American election, as well as countless irresponsible gossip news.

Speaking of newspapers, several major newspapers in the South paid great attention to Lincoln's election, and the rhetoric was as ruthless as it was!

"Lincoln's election is undoubtedly the greatest disaster that has befallen this country. But now that the wood is in the boat, all the American people can do is lower the sails, remove the mainmast and wait for the hurricane to come......" commented the Whig in Richmond, Virginia, who was quite sane.

"The tea has been thrown into the river!" The Charleston "Mirror" in South Carolina is very direct, and there is no one in the United States who does not understand this stalk of "tea thrown into the river", because the fight against the British army began with this action, and the so-called "tea party" is revolution.

Is there going to be a big revolution?

Until then, someone is leaving!

"We're breaking away from the Union!"

"What?"

The current President Buchanan's term is not over, but he has encountered the most embarrassing thing that a US president can encounter, that is, some states are going to secede from the Union, and this state is South Carolina!

"Can you give a few days of grace until March 4th?"

"No! We're going to get out of it now! ”

Buchanan's face collapsed at the time, he was definitely the saddest president in American history, and the country was divided with a few months left in his term.

So can he agree?

"If you dare to agree, we will impeach you!" This is the opinion of the North.

Well, Comrade Buchanan has only a few months left in his term, but he still has to be impeached and removed from office...... What a tragedy!
